directions
- Filling.
- In a sauce pan over medium heat, brown the shallots and cabbage in the olive oil for 5 minutes.
- Add the ground veal and continue cooking over high heat until the meat is cooked through. Moisten with the white wine and reduce until the liquid is evaporated. Remove from heat and add the Camembert cheese, stirring until it is melted. Stir in the thyme, bread crumbs, Parmesan and eggs. Season with salt and pepper, mix well and set aside.
- In a large pot, cook the lasagna noodles in boiling, salted water, 2 at a time. Drain and place in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Spread one-twelfth of the filling along the longer edge of each drained, cooked noodle, and roll up to make the cannelloni.
- Rosé Sauce.
- In a sauce pan over medium heat, soften the shallots and garlic in the butter for two minutes.
- Add the white wine and reduce by half.
- Add the diced tomatoes, bay leaf, salt and pepper and cook over high heat for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the cream and continue cooking over very low heat for 10 minutes.
- Add the camembert and thyme, stirring until the cheese is completely melted. Transfer the sauce to a blender or food processor and whir just until smooth (a food mill works well too).
- Assembly.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/ 400F/.
- Pour a little sauce in the bottom of a baking dish.
- Arrange the cannelloni in the dish (do not pack them too tightly). Cover with the rest of the sauce.

I live in Victoria, British Columbia. I am happily married to the most wonderful guy on earth:) Aside from being a wanna be chef, I am also a wanna be children's book author, and a famous crooner in the shower aside from being a frustrated painter/illustrator and a real trying hard golfer.
I love experimenting with different dishes from countries all over the world. I am constantly experimenting with new recipes and different types of fresh herbs and spices.
I collect cookbooks and magazines. Most of the recipes I've posted and I will be posting are from the different magazines such as Bon Appetite, Chatelaine, Cucina, Hello, Home Maker and Gourmet. I will also try to post recipes that I've grown up with as well as those that came from family and friends.
